Prepayment Features with Negative Compensation (Amendments to IFRS 9) (Effective January 2019)<br />
Amends the existing requirements in IFRS 9 regarding termination rights in order to allow measurement at amortised<br />
cost (or, depending on the business model, at fair value through other comprehensive income) even in the case of<br />
negative compensation payments.<br />
Annual Improvements to IFRS Standards 2015–2017 Cycle contains amendments to certain standards and<br />
interpretations and are effective for accounting periods beginning on or after January 2019<br />
Makes amendments to the following standards:<br />
• IFRS 3: Business Combinations and IFRS 11: Joint Arrangements (Effective January 2019)<br />
The amendments to IFRS 3 clarify that when an entity obtains control of a business that is a joint operation, it<br />
remeasures previously held interests in that business. The amendments to IFRS 11 clarify that when an entity<br />
obtains joint control of a business that is a joint operation, the entity does not remeasure previously held interests<br />
in that business.<br />
• IAS 23: Borrowing Costs (Effective January 2019)<br />
The amendments clarify that if any specific borrowing remains outstanding after the related asset is ready for its<br />
intended use or sale, that borrowing becomes part of the funds that an entity borrows generally when calculating<br />
the capitalisation rate on general borrowings.<br />
Plan Amendment, Curtailment or Settlement (Amendments to IAS 19) (Effective January 2019)<br />
The amendments in Plan Amendment, Curtailment or Settlement (Amendments to IAS 19) are:<br />
• If a plan amendment, curtailment or settlement occurs, it is now mandatory that the current service cost and the<br />
net interest for the period after the remeasurement are determined using the assumptions used for the<br />
remeasurement.<br />
• In addition, amendments have been included to clarify the effect of a plan amendment, curtailment or settlement<br />
on the requirements regarding the asset ceiling.<br />
Definition of Material (Amendments to IAS 1 and IAS 8) (Effect January 2020)<br />
The amendments in Definition of Material (Amendments to IAS 1 and IAS 8) clarify the definition of „material‟ and<br />
align the definition used in the Conceptual Framework and the standards.<br />
These affect <strong>finan</strong>cial statements for accounting periods beginning on or after the first day of the month stated. The<br />
Credit Union is assessing the impact these amendments will have on its <strong>finan</strong>cial statements.<br />
